Apogee Secures Further Extension to Enhance KEEP.eu's 2014-2020 Project Coverage

29 June, 2023

Apogee Information Systems is pleased to announce a further extension of its successful collaboration with Interact Programme to enhance the comprehensive coverage of 2014-2020 projects in the KEEP.eu platform. This extension, effective from June 2023, builds upon the strong foundation established through previous partnerships and demonstrates Interact's continued trust in Apogee's expertise and service quality.

This latest development follows Apogee's initial selection in July 2021, the service renewal in June 2022, and the collaboration extension in November 2022. The primary focus of this new phase is to significantly expand the platform's coverage of European Territorial Cooperation projects from the 2014-2020 programming period, ensuring that KEEP.eu remains the most authoritative and comprehensive resource for Interreg data.

Under the extended agreement, Apogee will intensify efforts to collect, process, and integrate project data from the remaining 2014-2020 Interreg, IPA CBC, and ENI CBC programmes that are not yet fully represented in the database. This work includes detailed documentation of projects, partners, financial allocations, and thematic objectives, providing a comprehensive picture of cross-border cooperation initiatives throughout Europe during this crucial funding period.

KEEP.eu has established itself as an essential knowledge management tool for stakeholders involved in European territorial cooperation. The platform currently documents over 26,000 projects, more than 119,000 partnerships, and maintains complete records for 281 Interreg programmes. This extensive database serves policymakers, researchers, programme managers, and potential project partners by providing searchable, accessible information on cross-border initiatives dating back to 2000.

Since beginning its support for KEEP.eu in 2021, Apogee has made significant contributions to the platform's development, cataloguing thousands of documents and processing data from numerous programmes. This extended collaboration underscores Apogee's position as a trusted technology partner for European institutions and reinforces its specialisation in data management and digital solutions for public sector organisations.

The 2014-2020 programming period represents a significant chapter in European territorial cooperation, with billions of euros invested in projects addressing shared challenges across borders. Through this extended partnership, Apogee and Interact are ensuring that the valuable outcomes and lessons from these projects are properly documented and made accessible to inform future cooperation initiatives.
